Sassy Cats Reject Their Hoomans' Cuddles in the Funniest Ways
Cats can go from affectionate to absolutely over it in a split second, and that is exactly why their behavior is so entertaining. One minute they are leaning in for attention, the next they are acting like cuddles are a personal insult.
In this collection, cat owners caught their pets rejecting hugs, kisses, selfies, and all kinds of unwanted affection in the funniest ways possible. The reactions are pure cat energy, equal parts dramatic, stubborn, and impossible to take seriously.
These cats are not here for the cuddles.
1. "Let's Take a Selfie" but the kitten says, "No."

2. "Euhmmm Nope"

3. "Let's Take a Picture with Snuggles"

4. "My Girlfriend and Our Cat. The Feeling's Mutual"

5. "Rejected" Precious paws from a beloved cat—the ultimate rejection.

That attitude only gets stronger from here.
6. "Dad Tried to Give Me Attention. I Wasn't in the Mood, Clearly"

7. "I Am Not Happy with This Head Massage"

11. "I Know He Loves Me"

12. "I Tried to Make My Boyfriend Take a Cat Beard Picture. This Was the Result"

13. "Valentine's Day? Yuck" Not in this cat's household!

20. "When You Just Don't Want to Cuddle"

21. "My Mom Is Giving Rei Kisses and She Is Having None of It" You can almost hear this cat's bellowing meow.

Even the sweetest humans are getting the cold shoulder here.
And if you’re wondering how far it goes, this reminds me of a girlfriend secretly re-homing her boyfriend’s cat while he’s away.
